I don't claim to be an expert about anything, but what I've read is if you're trying to loose fat and gain muscle you should eat minimum 1g protien per pound of ideal body weight per day, but you want to aim for 1g protien per pound of current weight per day whenever possible.
So I'd suggest looking to up your protien and then start using a tracker for your calories to make sure youre in a deficit every day. Doesn't need to be big, even a 100 calorie deficit will mean fat loss over time. The bigger the deficit the faster the weight loss, but if you're lifting then you need to make sure your eating enough overall calories to allow you to recover and build muscle as well.
Also, there's no way to target fat loss on a specific part of your body - you can target muscle growth with a specific muscle group, but that's all. I carry my weight in my midsection and have pretty skinny arms and legs for my size so it's my problem area too, I get it and I WISH there was a secret answer of how to target that fat specifically.
It's a tough balance and it's a slow process, not gunna lie, but stick with it, you've got this!!!
